5. Stig

Förr i tiden trampades det upp många stigar i skogarna. Fiskesjöar, myrslåtter, fäbodar kunde vara mål för vandrarna. Då betet tog slut runt gårdarna, släpptes korna ut på skogen för att där finna föda. Djuren valde vissa stråk och snart var en stig upptrampad. Nu för tiden har de flesta skogsstigar försvunnit. Just här fanns dock tydliga spår av en upptrampad stig då denna vandringsled anlades 2005. 5. A Path. Nowadays, when we travel, we almost always use some means of transportation. But a hundred years ago, things were very different. Up in the woods, there were well-trodden paths between villages. Settlements in the forest, huts on summer grazing ground, lakes with good fishing and places with bog grass could be hiking destinations. When there was nothing more to eat in the pastures around a farm, cows were sent into the forest to find food. These animals always chose to go in certain directions, and soon a path was made. Most of these trails have now disappeared. Here, however, there are still the clear signs of a well-trodden path that may have led to some now forgotten settlement in the forest. But it could also have been a cow path. |
